Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose's Last Tape

Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose's Last Tape

Tickets: $30 regular price, $20 AA&CC members, $10 TU students with ID

Stranded in Japan during World War II, a young Japanese American woman was forced to serve as a radio broadcaster for a propaganda program controlled by the Japanese Imperial Army, and was subsequently tried for treason. Seventy years later, this historic incident is brought to life through a visually stunning whodunit, Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose's Last Tape, which was conceived, written and directed by Japanese artist Miwa Yanagi. "Tokyo Rose," is the story of English-speaking radio announcers who broadcast Japanese propaganda programs aimed at Allied forces during World War II.

The North American tour of Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape is produced and organized by Japan Society, New York. This program is supported by the Agency for Culture Affairs, Government of Japan in the fiscal year 2014 and The Japan Foundation through the Performing Arts JAPAN Program.

Miwa Yanagi is supported by the Asian Cultural Council for the re-staging of Zero Hour for the North American tour.

The Asian Arts & Culture Center also appreciates the support of The Citizens of Baltimore County, Maryland State Arts Council, Towson University Marriott Conference Hotel, Ro & Marius P. Johnson Legacy Charitable Fund, Yoshinobu & Kathleen Shiota, McCormick & Co., Inc., Capital Partners Securities, Co., Ltd., TU Division of University Advancement, Anthony & Bonnie Montcalmo, TU Center for Student Diversity – Women’s Resources, Baltimore Kawasaki Sister City Committee, Susan & Carl Behm, Dan & Carol Young, and Sandra & Dean Esslinger.
